Topic: Bench seat on C5 please (Read 554 times)

We have a customer who ordered a new C5 today who must have a non-stepped bench seat. Ok, minimum stepped is ok. The Corbin has too much of a step, the Enfeild gear English seat is out of stock forever. There is one offered on eBay but the store owner can only say it might fit. Who has a sure fire fitting seat? Thanks in advance.

And although I haven't tried it, you could try this seat, as fitted to late model Interceptors. It's probably the closest to meeting your description. But it won't have the mounting brackets appropriate for a C5. I'm not completely certain, but you might be able to get away with using the mounting brackets Hitchcocks supply with that last link I posted, but you'd probably have to phone or E-Mail Hitchcocks about brackets to fit the C5/Classic EFI. Or you could make them, as they'd be absolutely simple to do.

Actually, I'd really love to see this seat on a C5... I might have to order one myself.

You should be able to fit almost any RE bench seat to a C5 with minor mods. Might be worth a call to Hitchcocks or an email to Bulletwala. I was able to mount a Triumph seat but did need to use the base from a stock C5 pillion seat.
